CANNA Start is a balanced, one-part starter nutrient for seedlings and rooted cuttings, made to provide complete early nutrition while lowering the risk of overfeeding. It’s a propagation nutrient designed specifically for the starting phase, when young plant material needs a gentler, better-matched nutrient profile than established plants.
This balanced one-part nutrient is built around the exact ratio of nutritional elements that seedlings and cuttings need to develop into a strong, healthy plant. CANNA Start supplies primary, secondary and micronutrients, giving young plants the micro- and macro nutritional elements needed for steady early development without pushing them too hard.
One of the most practical benefits is that it reduces the risk of plant material turning yellow during early growth. That matters because yellowing at the start can slow momentum and make it harder for plants to transition into the next stage with confidence. By keeping nutrition complete and balanced for propagation, CANNA Start supports a cleaner, healthier start that’s easier to manage.
CANNA Start is suited to common propagation media, including rockwool plugs, coco pellets, jiffy plugs, and seed mixes, along with most other propagation media. This flexibility makes it a solid fit whether you’re starting seeds, rooting cuttings, or bringing young plants through the early phase before they move into their final medium. A key limitation is that it is not intended for recirculating systems or clone machines, so it’s best matched to traditional propagation setups.
If you want a complete 1-part nutrient that keeps early-stage nutrition simple while supporting healthy growth, CANNA Start is a strong fit. It’s made for growers who start from seeds or rooted cuttings and want a propagation nutrient that helps avoid overfeeding, supports healthy color, and provides a balanced foundation for the next stage of growth.
Step-by-step mixing and feeding instructions for Canna Start - 500 ML.
Fill your reservoir or watering container with clean, room-temperature water first. Shake the bottle of Canna Start - 500 ML well before every use. Using the feeding schedule below, measure the recommended dose and add it directly to the water while stirring. Allow the solution to mix fully before adding any other fertilizers, additives, or supplements.
Always add nutrients to water — not the other way around. Mix thoroughly between products to ensure an even, stable nutrient solution.

Warning – Important Safety Information
This product may cause mild skin irritation and eye irritation. Avoid unnecessary contact with skin, eyes, and clothing. Use only as directed.
General safety precautions
Read and follow all instructions on the product label and any accompanying documentation before use. Keep out of reach of children and pets. Do not ingest. Avoid breathing vapours, mist, or dust that may be generated during handling or use.
Wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE), such as protective gloves, long sleeves, long pants and closed-toe footwear. When there is a risk of splashing or airborne particles, use safety glasses or other suitable eye and face protection.
First aid – skin contact
IF ON SKIN OR HAIR: Remove contaminated clothing immediately. Rinse skin with clean water for several minutes, then wash with mild soap and water. If irritation or redness develops and persists, seek medical attention. Wash contaminated clothing before reuse.
First aid – eye contact
IF IN EYES: Rinse cautiously with clean water for several minutes, keeping eyelids open. Remove contact lenses if present and easy to do. Continue rinsing. If irritation persists, obtain medical advice.
First aid – ingestion and inhalation
IF SWALLOWED: Rinse mouth thoroughly with water. Do not induce vomiting unless instructed by a medical professional. Seek medical attention if you feel unwell.
IF INHALED: Move the person to fresh air and keep them comfortable for breathing. If coughing, breathing difficulty, dizziness or other symptoms occur, seek medical assistance.

Ammoniacal Nitrogen (N) is a plant-available form of ammonium (NH₄⁺) that provides a steady, gentle source of nitrogen for healthy green growth. Unlike fast-release nitrogen types, ammoniacal nitrogen feeds plants slowly, helps stabilize root-zone pH, and works well in cooler temperatures. It is commonly used during early vegetative growth because it supports strong leaf development without burning young roots. If plants show pale leaves, slow growth, or weak stems, they may need more available ammoniacal nitrogen.
Boron is essential because it stabilizes cell walls, supports root and shoot growth, and regulates sugar movement throughout the plant. What makes boron unique is its limited mobility and extremely narrow range between deficiency and excess, which causes new growth to show symptoms rapidly when levels fall out of balance.
Calcium is important because it builds and stabilizes plant cells as they form, acting as the structural support that keeps new growth strong and functional. Unlike other nutrients that drive color or speed of growth, calcium’s role is unique because it controls cell wall strength and membrane stability, making it essential for healthy roots, shoots, and long-term plant resilience rather than quick visual results.
Chelated iron is important because it keeps iron usable for plants even when growing conditions would normally lock iron out, helping prevent the classic yellow-new-leaf symptom caused by low chlorophyll production. It is unique from other iron sources because the chelation protects iron from becoming insoluble, making it a more reliable way to correct iron-related chlorosis when regular iron can fail.
Copper is important because it powers key enzymes that support energy use, tissue strength, and stress protection, and it’s unique from many other micronutrients because plants need it in tiny amounts but can be harmed quickly if copper becomes excessive.
Molybdenum is important because it helps plants convert nitrogen into usable building blocks for chlorophyll and growth, and it’s unique from many nutrients because it mainly supports enzyme-driven “nutrient use” rather than directly building plant tissue.
Nitric nitrogen is important because plants can absorb it quickly to build chlorophyll and steady green growth, which powers photosynthesis. It’s unique because it tends to influence root-zone pH differently than other nitrogen forms and often supports more predictable, balanced growth when paired with the right mineral and environmental conditions.
P2O5 is important because it tells you how much phosphorus is available in a feeding program, and phosphorus drives root development, energy transfer, and flowering performance—making it uniquely different from many other nutrients because it’s commonly listed as a standardized “oxide equivalent” value rather than as the nutrient form plants directly absorb.
Potassium oxide (K2O) is important because it shows how much potassium is available to support water control, sugar movement, and strong plant structure, which directly impacts growth quality and stress tolerance. It’s unique because K2O is mainly a label standard for potassium content, not a separate nutrient form the plant absorbs, so understanding it helps you avoid mixing up label numbers with real potassium needs.
Total magnesium is important because magnesium powers chlorophyll and energy use, helping plants stay green, turn light into growth, and use other nutrients efficiently—and it’s unique because its problems often come from nutrient balance and uptake competition, not just a simple shortage.
Total manganese matters because it supports photosynthesis and enzyme activity that keep new growth green and vigorous, and it’s unique because “total” manganese measures what’s present but not necessarily what the plant can absorb—so pH and root conditions decide whether manganese helps or harms.
Total Nitrogen is important because it directly drives leafy growth, chlorophyll production, and overall growth speed, which sets the pace for the entire plant. It’s unique because the “total” number can include different nitrogen forms that behave differently in the root zone, meaning the same total amount can produce very different results depending on the nitrogen type and plant stage.
Zinc is important because it powers key enzymes and helps regulate growth hormones, which directly controls healthy new leaves, normal internode spacing, and strong growth tips; it’s unique compared to many other micronutrients because zinc problems often show up as distorted, undersized new growth and stunting, not just simple leaf yellowing.
